Estate Cottage

Estate Cottage is a semi-detached property in Wheldrake, a village with a pub, shop and café within walking distance. The hot tub sets it apart as a place to unwind after exploring, whether that's a day in York or the surrounding countryside. You get the whole cottage to yourself: two bedrooms (a double and a single), one bathroom with shower over the bath, and a combined living and dining space downstairs. Heating and hot water are included, along with wi-fi, bed linen and towels.

The kitchen has a full electric cooker, microwave, washing machine and fridge-freezer, so you can cook proper meals or just keep things simple. There's parking for one car on site and a small courtyard with garden furniture for sitting out. York itself—with the Minster, Railway Museum, Jorvik Centre and year-round markets—is reachable by regular bus or car in under 15 minutes. Closer to home, Wheldrake Ings nature reserve is nearby, and fishing lakes and a golf course lie within two miles. The North York Moors and Yorkshire Wolds are also accessible for day trips. No smoking is permitted inside.
